Kathy was a fantastic tour guide. We were more interested in the historical and architectural aspects of Beaufort than Pat Conroy. She was entertaining, informative and a blast to spend time with. Beaufort is a beautiful city and we are happy we traveled from Hilton Head to see it. If ever in the area again we will visit again.Thank You Kathy!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot more about one of my favorite authors. Enjoyed seeing the beautiful homes and Spanish moss covered trees.

Unfortunately I as the consumer did NOT realize that the Pat Conroy tour was going to exclusive about Pat Conroy& not about the history of Beaufort itself. My mistake, so it turned out it to be what we all expected.

Trip advisor mislead us and the seats we bought were the in the back and faced backward. The guide said those are the seats we bought. NOWHERE on the Trip Advisor booking sight was there an option to select our seats !!! The guide was kind enough to give us a refund. Shame on you Trip Advisor !!
